Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"Kingdom Capital outperformed in Q1 by avoiding momentum names and focusing on ignored value opportunities. Major portfolio changes included exiting Children's Place and adding Entravision, a media company trading below the value of its spectrum assets alone."

Executive Summary

Kingdom Capital returned 7.51% net in Q1 2024, outpacing the Russell 2000 despite avoiding popular momentum names like Nvidia. The fund maintains its contrarian approach of vetting ignored ideas rather than chasing trends. The quarter featured significant portfolio turnover, with the manager exiting Children's Place after an insolvency scare and establishing new positions in Regis Corporation, Tidewater, Venator Materials, GEN Restaurant Group, and Hanesbrands. The standout new investment was Entravision, where a 50% decline following a Meta contract loss created an opportunity to buy a media company with valuable spectrum assets worth over $1 billion in future FCC auctions, plus legacy TV and radio operations generating cash. Net Lease Office Properties delivered strong results, liquidating office properties at favorable prices. The manager describes the current opportunity set as rich, allowing consolidation into higher-conviction ideas with significant upside torque. Despite market preference for momentum investing, the fund expects its disciplined value approach to continue generating outperformance.
